Chapter 625 - Qinghe in crisis (2/2)

Ren Xiaosu wondered, “Don’t you Riders have a rule that says that you have to stay in a town for a full year? Why are you leaving just like that?”

Ren Xiaosu had realized the rules the Riders lived by were extremely strict. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would surely have stepped into Stronghold 61 to save others during that incident. So what could be so important that Qin Sheng had to hurry back to Luoyang City no matter what? Could something have happened to the Qinghe Group in Luoyang City?

He remembered Old Li had mentioned that all was not well within the Qinghe Group.

Qin Sheng looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, “It’s definitely urgent if they want me back immediately. I’m really sorry that I can’t tell you the truth.”

“Where’s the threat coming from?” Ren Xiaosu wondered, “The twelve of you Riders are all supernatural beings, so what could possibly threaten y’all?”

Qin Sheng said with a wry smile, “I’m afraid that a large number of superhumans have gathered in Luoyang City. There were already people from the Wang, Zhou, and Kong Consortiums, as well as the Anjing House and the Saboteurs, who infiltrated the city. This is because Luoyang City has an open door policy, and a lot of people enter and leave the stronghold every day. So it’s very difficult to track everyone. Besides… forget it, there are some things I can’t talk about. I shouldn’t be airing our dirty laundry in front of you.”

When Ren Xiaosu heard the Saboteurs get mentioned, he was stunned. Saboteurs!

If he could find the Saboteurs, wouldn’t he find Yang Xiaojin? He suddenly said to Qin Sheng, “By the way, I mentioned this to you a few days ago, but if Wang Yuchi and the others are thinking of attending Qinghe University, will this matter affect them?”

Qin Sheng gave it some thought and said, “I don’t think so. No matter how scheming those people are, there’s no need to target Qinghe University. There’s no secrets there. How about this? I’ll immediately convey this matter to the others once I get back. When you guys get to Luoyang City, no one will stop you from entering. Wang Yuchi and the other students can just focus on testing into uni.”

“Alrighty then, thanks in advance.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. Then he asked, “But I don’t understand one thing. Why would those forces want to attack Luoyang City?”

“They aren’t targeting Luoyang City.” Qin Sheng shook his head and replied, “They’re just after the Qinghe Group because they have too many satellites under their control. Those things are simply too important for an organization.”

Ren Xiaosu did not ask further. He did not know why the various forces would all choose to make a move at this time. As there was not enough information, he could not judge what was happening.

Rather than asking Qin Sheng, he might as well consult the storyteller and the Great Hoodwinker.

However, he would still have to make a trip to Luoyang City. While the satellites had nothing to do with him, he really wanted to go there to look for the Saboteurs.

Hold on! Ren Xiaosu suddenly remembered Li Shentan’s strange words from back then: “Make a trip to Qinghe University. There could be a reward waiting for you there.”

If Qin Sheng had not mentioned the Saboteurs, he would not have recalled those words. But putting together Qin Sheng and Li Shentan’s words into context, he realized he might really have missed out on something.

Li Shentan did not tell him to go to Qinghe University just to watch a boring debate.

When Qin Sheng was about to bid farewell, Ren Xiaosu said righteously, “We’re friends now, so whatever’s troubling the Riders is my business as well. I’ll go to Luoyang City with you!”

Qin Sheng was stunned. “We shouldn’t trouble you like that. Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you….”

“Alright, shall we set off then?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Qin Sheng was utterly confused. ‘Bro, did you hear what I just said?’

Seeing how Ren Xiaosu started calling for Wang Yuchi and the others to set off immediately, Qin Sheng could only say powerlessly, “Shouldn’t you guys at least pack some stuff with you?”

“There’s no need to pack! We’re leaving right away!” Ren Xiaosu then dragged Qin Sheng off towards the wilderness.
